Look, a perfume without a top note..
... at least without the usual, cheerful and cheerful notes, these citric, bergamot-like, airy nose catcher, which push their way directly into the limbic system, inevitably triggering a happiness hormone cascaded buying reflex there.
This one starts with a very delicate sweetened cumin seed, a little sweaty, a little grumpy and spooned up - as if the scent had slept badly, a little off, not directly in a bad mood, but shortly before. Still - surprise! - portable. Only unusual and needs getting used to and very, very peculiar.
The cumin trolls into the second row in a good-natured, grumpy manner, perhaps after half an hour, and gives way to the milky herbaceous scent of unripe nuts and an earthy, very dry patchouli.
After about one and a half hours on the skin, a peculiar heart note has almost completely established itself, dry as dust, ambered and very woody. A pleasant wood, old, aromatic, darkly shimmering, brightly polished, beaned, greened up by some elder stem marrow herbaceousness. The hint of vanilla is conciliatory, grumbling and taciturn in a good-natured way, but the scent remains throughout the whole time.
He's hardly going to change for a few hours now: Dark wood, very soft vanilla and dry amber spices just become softer and say goodbye to my skin after four or five hours. My clothes smell perceptibly good six hours, delicately last hunches remain until the next day.
Gaïac Précieux does completely without flowers - the violet, I once smelled it, but mostly not in the last attempts - does not play an independent role, it fits very indirectly into the overall impression.
It's not an overly pleasing scent, dark, peculiar, a bit grumpy and with such a defiant "Dann-komm-Du-doch" attitude. Nevertheless I like it - in contrast to "Bois" from the same collection, which approaches the theme of "wood" from the silvery light side - and with its extreme, almost plastic-like synthetics I will not find love with it.
The Sillage remains - extrait-typically - in the adequate range, softly perceptible on good arm length. The shelf life is fine.
